total tranquility. puts me in a very mellow mood. nice on. although when i look at the one on the right really quick, it kinda reminds me of a fortune cookie. im sure the tape inside would say something about the future and tranquility. nice work. :)
the watery, dappled effect and soft colours certainly speak "tranquility" to me...love it babe!
cheers,
kerry
i think you have used ocean ripple so it can be the ocean but the color is deceiving....it looks like autumn for me with all those trees and flowers, and the leaves falling all over the place and covering almost everything and have formed all those shapes.
Stay mellow Chacha, your holiday is nearly over :)
Thanks Kerry; Tranq out man.
This was a hand printed collagraph Isay which then had the 'cut-out' Photoshop filter, and an Illustrator 'wave' to shape the too severe centre split. It could be an aerial view of an autumn garden :)
This reminds me of stained glass, or collage with tissue paper. It's really beautiful. I love your color choices.
this art is not of god, I can tell you that much.
repent all of you!

however long i look at it and turn it and flip it, i keep seeing figures.. people... reminds me of Delaunay, art deco..
maybe something wrong with my brain...
i really love it!
(the painting, not my brain...)
This looks like the stained glass. It seems to be very cool!
Glad you find my image beautiful Aravis :)
YOU are hilarious Elohimus what on Earth do you see in this image? Big smiles and lots of hugs for your God who has a great sense of humour :)
Spot on, nothing wrong with your brain Vfm4 :) It is in fact like Delaunay's 'orphism'; colour as both form and subject.
It does actually Petite Fluer :)
I see figures too. It's beautiufl and the very essense of tranquility.
If any of you see figures THEN it must be the work of a demon. Anon, what have you to say for yourself??? Playing with the dark forces again?
btw: It is BEAUTIFUL. Is there any way I can ingest it? I really really need some tranquility right now.
Glad you see the beautiful Janey :)
It could look rather yummy if imagined as jello Miss Daze (playing with the good forces). Unless you enjoy biting into stained glass (playing with the bad).
I saw the torso right away. These are beautiful. What medium?
Oh yea, and why no name?
I can see how people are perceiving bodies, although my immediate reaction is a harmonious geographical confluence of rock/mountains meeting beach meeeting water viewed from atop. I like the speckled build up of colour, which reminds of quartz/granite and water ripples respectively.

Im not sure if i like the two on the left more than the one on the right .. the right one has got a great quality! nice work.
nah, don't see any bodies this time, only aspects, forms. but granite would definitely be a comparitive.
cheers luv,
kerry
The medium is digitally manipulated collagraph and is called Tranquillity Chuck Rose.
Can also relate to the quartz/granite translation Detlef, it is indeed a correspondence within nature.
The one on the right is a close-up section of the one on the left Rebeccashane. If you click the left one you can view it larger, but added right-hand detail so as to not hog your internet speed.
Thanks for sticking up for me Kerry about the plethera of kitties on IF each week. Also for seeing watery, dappled soft colours that speak tranquility and not figures that Elohimus thinks must be the work of a demon :)
Thanks everyone for your feedback :)
Another outstanding post on a somewhat difficult theme. Nice collagraph, I think, how much digital enhancement did it require?
gorgeous work as usual. I'd love to see it in real life. The dappled effect is so peaceful and the lines are controlled and calming like small fissures in are large stone.
Elohimus is cracking me up?!? This art is not of God?? Interesting and useful feedback Elohimus!
There are different levels of defining tranquility Shmilebik, glad you like this one's strangeness.
Hi Mick, the separate colours were Photoshop isolated then filtered to give cool conflict; and a 'cut-out' filter applied. Then an Illustrator 'wave' softened the too severe centre split. For the most part the colours and detail have been manipulated more than an overall enhancement to suit topic ‘Tranquillity’.
What a beautiful interpretation Katherine :) Hheheheeheee. I don't remember EVER claiming to be God, think Elohimus is confused.
is that an eye on the upper lefthand corner of the first box? cool illo...
Very inspiring! Well done!
thank you 4 ur comment :-)
anonymous..man, i always struggle in getting my spellings right.
I like what I did so far. May perhaps change the colours later on. Will maintain the position though. Perhaps some adjustment - here and there ...we'll just have to see...
I can see an eye Knottydon ... well eyed! Thanks also Electric Geisha. Did I spell sumthink wrongly Coffee81? I will check on your illustration in a couple of weeks to see what you have done :)
That's groovie... looks like something for a stained glass window
Hhehehe, thank you Giao, Michelle and Tony :)
I like this a lot - it's sort of how I imagine an underwater river jigsaw for fish might look like.
Thanks for leaving your calling card on Slug Daze, as that brought me over here, and I hadn't seen your pictures before. Slugs, fish, I might evolve to amphibious talk soon.
It makes me think of puzzle pieces of made out of colored water, solid to the touch yet not frozen. Lovely !
Lately when I look at your pictures I seem to keep seeing beautiful naked female forms - aah, what's wrong with me? :)
Anyway, I think the flow of this piece is sublime. The distribution of colour is wonderful, particularly the overlayed purples and blues, but best of all the way the orange and purple triangles in the bottom half seem to have fallen away from the orange and purple forms in the top half. There's more angularity in the top half than the bottom half.
Overall, this does have a pleasant, languid air - late afternoon in a sunlit room, with the curtains blowing gently. Thanks for the detail - an interestingly framed composition in itself (with that diagonal across the centre). The colour details are amazing!
I am beginning to feel WAY too tranquil! Wow ... why is it the boys know more about tranquility than I do?
Johnnynorms, an underwaterwater river jigsaw for fish; Steve, coloured water puzzle pieces; and Ian, languid air and gently blowing curtains. Either you all see naked women in this work, or there is something wrong with me!
gorgeous as always. you have such a way with color.
Right back at YOU Amy :)
Wow, wonderfull !!!!
Thank you Feyd, I love the way you have done your blog links :)
Looks about as tranquil as a pod of diving sharks.
HAHA, just don't dive in Mary Stebbins Taitt ;)
